Thank you to all who attended our 2023 Audubon Council of Washington chapter meeting! About 60 people from from 15 chapters across the state joined us at the Seattle Mountaineers Program Center.
Over the weekend we learned about National Audubon Society’s new strategic plan, we celebrated Gloria Baldi from Kittitas Audubon with the Helen Engle Award, we discussed conservation resolutions presented by chapters, and heard from inspiring speakers. We also participated in an equity, diversity, and inclusion workshop where we practiced thinking through different scenarios that chapters see during field trips and programs. We also spent time networking with each other and getting to know WDFW Program Director Margen Carlson.
As always, we would like your advice to improve future ACOW meetings. Please complete our survey to shape our next meeting in Southwest Washington in 2024!
Please also take a few moments for these next steps:
- Improve ACOW next year by taking our survey
- View presenters slides from Friday and Saturday
- For conservation leads, view notes and materials from our WSACC meeting. We will email next steps to chapter conservation leaders.
- Sign up to join us for Advocacy Days in December!
Thank you again for helping us make this year’s ACOW a success! Next year ACOW will be held in the beautiful Southwest Region, home of the Vancouver, Grays Harbor, Willapa Hills, Black Hills, and Tahoma chapters. We can’t wait to see you there!
